人間工学的にみた通路のゆとり空間に関する実験的研究 その3 : 1人歩行における体側クリアランスについて

Abstract

The ideal width of a passage was investigated from scientific and psychological standpoints. The width of a passage is usually determined by summing up the maximum body breadth of a user and a certain clearance between the body and the wall. The evaluation of this "Side-Clearance", is a very important problem in designing a public building. The evaluation of the Side-Clearance should be considered in terms of functional and comfortable space. In this paper, the evaluation of functional and comfortable space is discussed for conditions of (1) motionlessness in an unclothed state, (2) motionlessness in a clothed state. and (3) walking along the passage in a clothed state. In addition, comfort is evaluated in five degrees corresponding to the psychological reaction of users established by means of the questionnaire method. The authors proposed a method of estimating Side-Clearance based on the comparison of the functional results and the subjective results.
